[@cazz3000]

MacFarlane's impression of Adam West had me buckled when he said the "dogfood" line... ...hardest i've laughed in a while

[@McManusAddict]

He looks so happy playing Kermit, loving the arms!

[@multanlava1198]

The Adam West Show!!!! Why did this not happen?! I'd watch the shit out of that!!!!

[@CooroSnowFox]

Given Batman, Im surprised that never happened

[@valglasscock253]

His impressions are dead on! So brilliant!

[@philtru]

He voices all of them (except kirmit in the movies but on family guy he voices him)

[@callycap3]

"Family Guy is a reflection of what is important in America" Oh God, she deserves the laughter.

[@angramainyu267]

He's just too fcking talented for his own fcking good....

[@pan7374]

[@jacksonlady69]

Oh my god, he's pure perfection bless him...

[@paperchasindude6578]

What do you mean

[@tedwoe]

Holy Shit!!! His impersonation of Adam West!!! Spot on!! That was WAY funnier than the Kermit, and I've seen it several times on that Graham Norton clip with Tom Cruise.

[@Lennac]

Such a small thing, but anyone notice for the Adam West question Seth is looking up at the guy who asked it the whole time... actually is answering the fan, rather than a lot of people I see they hear a question and then they're just talking at the crowd.

[@Love89571]

Kermit the Frog impression was funny. :)

[@Coilinator]

[@chrisguthrie5432]

You have all those funny and talented people on stage & Bill Maher.

[@desorienter]

[@BrxIghtside]

People hate on seth because hes very good looking,superbly talented musically and voices

[@Casarzino]

Seth MacFarlane is possibly the most talented person ever

[@Qurosia]

Love how Seth does a quick Quagmire laugh while explaining Adam West :P

[@totallwall1361]

3 cheers for RALEIGH, North Carolina !!!!!!

[@TheDylls]

I love the fact that The Muppets have "evolved" just enough with their demo that this is almost something I've seen "Kermit" do on actual Late Night TV!

[@DeTodoUnPocazo1]

to the sethcopter!!!

[@Crazybenjiwoo]

bravo, you can hear...

[@Acrolvm]

Woo

[@ironman2199]

[@jackdaniels3412]

Does anyone know what episode number the Kermit taken speech is ? I have seen it before I remember watching it but I am trying to search everywhere to see the actual clip and I can't find it ANYWHERE !? Someone help!?

[@Skywordstrike]

Josh Ortega This is what is from. You are probably thinking of the taken parody in "Leggo my Meggo"

[@Dehhvil]

that kermet thing was sooo amazing

[@EnoYaka]

as our evolution of the mind continues we will begin to see what people are describing as they talk in greater detail, maybe even other senses

[@1h34dy1]

Is there any place I can download the complete show? Love Bill Maher and Seth MacFarlane so this is a perfect combo and hate to look through all the seperate clips. Big help if someone can pm it. Thanks

[@Acheron420]

Seth MacFarlane is the greatest

[@TheBitBlock]

"I think that Family Guy is a reflection of what's important in America". Wow then we're all fucked.

[@calkelpdiver]

Future Trump voter.

[@32pharow]

I just had a deep down belly laugh...That guy is sooo funny.

[@joystixxify]

[@DaMoonWalker12]

BATMAN LIVES IN IDAHO!

[@t3733]

[@LuvMusicPeace]

Haha! I love how he's trying not to laugh.

[@IAmSwashbuckle]

HE DID JOHNNY BRAVO. This man is my hero.

[@megatrondecepticon2]

okay, that was hillarious.

[@Mord699]

Drinking whiskey during this. Bossmode engaged.

[@paradiseliving271]

This guy steals any room or audience

[@ladycarnage69]

@TheStarWarsGuru I watch that part everyday before work. I think part of it is the arms flailing around.... lol

[@dominic9517]

seth 😍😘

[@Casarzino]

@gleader well, when it comes to showbiz he is VERY multi-talented. Most famous ppl in the business are only good at one thing, be it acting, writing, directing, animating, etc. This guy does imitations, voices, he writes, he comes up with cartoon characters, and now he has also directed a film with Mark Wahlberg.

[@greenday3833]

Stevie, Really, Stevie

[@mks9469]

One of my favorite episodes is the Star Trek one.

[@marcuc89]

Lol damn the classic's

[@fazefan309]

Love how his regular speaking voice is Brian's voice

[@Harlequinnus]

Hahah! His Adam West always makes me do a real-life LOL

[@natoshabrown]

:O I helped with Johnny Bravo! I love that cartoon. o_o

[@LordOfNothingham]

The NASCAR comment is so true. I don’t even watch anymore until the last 25 laps.

[@crazychris1123]

the Adam impression was hilarious xDD

[@choppedfoxx3488]

Someone else saw the video? WOW!

[@pwnageprata]

The Adam West Show needs to happen.

[@899redyoshi]

who knew i would learn that seth worked on johnny bravo from this video

[@dazblue5515]

Nice Blues Brothers reference : )

[@stinglock]

Glad you saw the comment.

[@lpal95]

[@TheMotherfer]

And Seth is going to host the Oscars. One can only image what he has in store for that show.

[@andyrooney12]

"Adaaaaam Weeeeesssttt. Adaaaam Weeeeeesssttt. A little lower, Adam Weeeeessttt. Adaaam Weeeest"

[@digdog53]

adam west was on fairly odd parents!

[@jazyjay2725]
